The Man He Was - Emitt Rhodes[00:00:00]

In a village in the woods they plant[00:00:16]

A tree for every newborn babe[00:00:18]

So they sowed a seed for a child[00:00:21]

Named John and they watched it day by day[00:00:23]

The tree it grew in a very strange way as twisted as a knot[00:00:27]

And the child he grew in the very[00:00:32]

Same way and never would his parents have thought [00:00:35]

The lad was bright and he learned[00:00:40]

To read as well as he could talk[00:00:42]

But his limbs were as twisted as the[00:00:45]

Tree and never would he walk[00:00:48]

People would come to stop and stare[00:00:51]

And you could hear them say[00:00:54]

It doesn't seem to me to be[00:00:57]

Quite fair and then be on their way [00:00:59]

Sing a song of joy lift your hearts in song[00:01:10]

For a newborn boy for a life that's long[00:01:16]

For a life that's long [00:01:23]

Now he loved the tree even[00:01:28]

Though it was as twisted as himself[00:01:30]

For somewhere deep inside his soul he thought of nothing else[00:01:34]

And the boy he grew [00:01:40]

Did the best he could but his limbs remained the same[00:01:41]

Well whoever listens who will[00:01:46]

Understand someone who is lame [00:01:48]

Some came to cry and some[00:01:53]

Came to laugh the day he passed away[00:01:55]

He's really not dead [00:01:58]

He's just taking a nap I heard somebody say[00:02:00]

I can't explain the tree[00:02:04]

Had died it withered without love[00:02:06]

But a stump remains to remind us of the man that he was [00:02:10]

Sing a song of death sing a song of peace[00:02:23]

Sing a song of rest and a song of relief[00:02:29]

Till the end of time[00:02:36]

Till the end of time[00:02:41]

Till the end of time[00:02:45]
